A Pho, pronounced “phuh” is a staple of Vietnamese cuisine. It is normally made with beef stock, but this is a much lighter version using fish and greens. You could even omit the fish if you are fasting or are a vegetarian.

The Pho is a wonderful staple at any time of the year. Its great in summer when you need something filling but don’t want to be around a hot stove for too long.

The idea is to add some raw and some cooked ingredients to hot miso or chicken stock. Experiment with greens, onions, garlic, ginger, hot pepper, mushrooms, fennel, etc. to taste.
